Cryptocurrency
The auction included a selection of nine Casascius brass "Casacius" from the Otoh Collection of Physical Cryptocurrency.
Leading the collection was a Casascius brass "Casacius" Loaded (Unredeemed) 1 Bitcoin (BTC) 2011 MS66 NGC that ended at $84,000. Loaded in 2011, it is an immensely popular type, owing to the fact that this issue represented the first funded physical Bitcoins ever produced. The "error" on the coin refers to the spelling mistake on the hologram incorrectly written as CASACIUS, which was corrected in subsequent series.
Five other bitcoins, including a highly original Casascius Series 1 Bitcoin MS 65 NGC and a 2013 Casascius 1 Bitcoin 2013 MS67 PCGS, each brought $72,000.
